Halloween Horror Nights 35 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[EAS]

Off the top of my head he has worked on Dead Man’s Pier from 2022, Blood Moon from 2023, Goblin’s Feast from 2024, El Artista from 2025, and Hatchet and Chains also from 2025

I believe he also worked on Insidious in 2024, from what an Unmasking guide shared!

For those that did Premium in the past, is the cost worth it? Hearing the rumor you will get pulsed in houses with your group sounds incredible!

First year yes, last year no. So who knows about this year.

That got taken off the website as a PSN benefit and changed to just lower waits.

First year was pretty well received, but last year was poorly received due to increasing th event cap. Pulsing is cool but does increase the waits for houses. Food lines are seem super long but move quickly as no one is actually paying for anything.

Yeah, it's been a little up and down for PSN. The first year was well received since there wasn't many folks, most likely due to both the price and it was never done before, so a lot of people had no idea how it would turn out and wanted to wait and see how it was.

But once the good reviews came out, a lot more folks showed up last year thinking they'd have the same experience and *whoops*, too many people with the bigger event cap! Hopefully having two nights and also hopefully an adjusted event cap will help this year out.

And it seems like they're not pulsing the houses this year per the desc on the site. While pulsing is neat, there's two things to note. As others have mentioned it does increase the wait for the houses. I've seen plenty of reports from SWO's HoS where that can be a total detriment where a seemingly short line took way longer than it should.

Secondly, these houses are designed for conga lines. If they operate as normal on PSN with hopefully lower crowds, the waits could be really breezy. And I think folks will like that more than waiting longer for a pulsed experience. On top of that, if the waits are nice and short...you can easily create an experience that feels pulsed akin to hitting up a tent house in the closing hours.

Yeah, I think most people would prefer waiting 10 mins without pulsing, vs waiting 20 mins with pulsing.

Houses were pulsed in 2020, and we still didn't get all the scares lol

If the houses were designed for actors to be able to go around and scare you elsewhere, it could work. SeaWorld pulses because there's very few scare actors in the houses, and the actors are often working throughout the house, not just a singular boo hole.

Do it! We did it for the first time last year, and it was maybe a $35 upgrade from regular express. Very worth it!

As far as the Scream Early houses - part of me thinks the best course of action would be to spread them out a bit. A soundstage one, a tent, maybe F&F?

Can you explain to me again how you got that Unlimited Express? I thought you said you went to Guest Services when you arrived and asked for the upgrade same day? We tried that twice, but we were told there were no passes left. Just wondering if I need to drive up there during the day to see about getting these. I'm already thinking that if Ozzy does show for this event, I'm going to want to run that one at least 3x per night, but I'm not doing that without Express.

I’m gambling after loving the first year and hating last year. I got this email which makes me think they’re trying to fix it:

We actually got it at the ticket desk at Stella Nova/Cabana Bay in the mornings!

Did you buy the tickets? I'd give them a call and tell them you want the -$75 off the premium scream. It'll help to have your order number from last year available.

I have pics of the tix with the confirmation number. Maybe that will work. I'll report back, thanks.

Update: the nice agent allowed a refund/repurchase.

Thanks all.

Also just want to add here, you’ll only be able to upgrade if you have single night express, not on any of the season+exp tickets. Another fun fact, let’s say you bought express for 150, but day of it’s 200, you’d still only pay the difference between the costs on the actual day.

Adding to what has been said before on Unlimited Express, they're sold the day of the event. And it certainly is a limited amount, for when I did it last year, I got up early and went to the vacation center desk at Stella Nova and they only had a handful of them left at that point.

Now something I also learned was asking someone manning the Express ticket kiosks inside the Studios. The Unlimited Express tickets go on sale at midnight, so if you're able to be at HHN the night before, you can totally get the upgrade at Midnight. Just make sure you have your single night express ticket and you're good to go.

Versus typical single-night express prices, what has the upcharge been for the folks that have secured this?

This explains a lot - but, unfortunately, it also means I have no chance since my express came with the FFP+ pass. Damn. I'd rather have it on my pass than indivual as it saves a TON of money.
